New England also signed defender Bilal Duckett, who spent the 2012 season
with the USL Pro's Harrisburg City Islanders, where he made 19 appearances on
the backline.

Prior to signing with Harrisburg, Duckett played one season with Vancouver
Whitecaps FC after the Whitecaps drafted him in the third round of the 2011
MLS SuperDraft. He made four appearances, including two starts, as a rookie
with Vancouver.

"We're pleased to reach agreements with Chad and Bilal," Revolution general
manager Michael Burns said. "Having faced Chad many times, we're very aware of
the type of competitor he is and the determination he brings to the field, and
we're looking for him to bring that to the field for the Revs now. With Bilal,
we're bringing in a tall, physical defender who gives us depth and versatility
along the backline."
